JUDO: British Open Results

(Colorado Springs, Colo.) – After winning a silver medal at the 2007 British Open, Michael Eldred (Fruitland, Idaho / Western Idaho Judo Institute) failed to advance out of the first round on Saturday at the B-Level tournament in London.

After a first round bye in the 73kg division, Eldred’s led by a koka (smallest points) score when his British opponent William Henry committed a penalty, but Henry scored a yuko (quarter-point) on Eldred in the final minute that won the match.

In the first round, Sin and Jonathan Purssey (GBR) were tied with two penalties each for the first two minutes before Purssey won the match by ippon.
